                           LIBERTY MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH


     Liberty Missionary Baptist Church was made up of dissenting members of 
Pataula Church.  It was organized in 1843 and was located near the site of the 
Guilford Cemetery.  The meeting house was crude with logs being used as 
benches.  The first pastor was the Reverend Muse.  It was reported in the 
minutes of the Association that Liberty Church had a membership of eighteen the 
first year.  Early members were:  Harris Brantley, Everett Floyd, David 
Johnson, John Key, William Lanier, James Martin, Wiley Page, Luther Warren, 
Capt. James Harrison, and Major W. L. Crawford.

     The church was closed in 1852, when it was decided by the members to move 
to Georgetown and erect a new church building.
